Problems with password and admin

If you do not remember your password and admin data for logging in the router’s configuration panel, you have two options:

Try the default admin and password for your router or modem;

If you look up on your router’s brand support website or manual, you will very likely to find the standard password and admin used for entering the configuration panel. Also, you can find here a list of the standard login information of all router’s manufacturers. Find your router brand and give a try to the default login information.

Reset the device for the factory original settings, and then use the default admin and password.

In case the original data were updated and you do not know what they are, the only option is to reset the router to the factory original standards. To do that, press and hold the reset button on your device (wait for a dozen seconds at least with the button pressed). After that you can try to login again using the default password. This time it will work for sure.
